The SNP leader, who spoke with the PM on the phone last night, said Mrs May shows no signs of budging on her Brexit red lines despite the historic defeat. She said there is no time to come up with a compromise before the March 29 exit date and demanded Article 50 is extended to give talks more time. The Scottish First Minister swept into Westminster to try to capitalise on the Brexit chaos in No10 to push for her own alternate Brexit plan. Mrs May\'s deal was voted down by a massive 230 votes, by 432 to 202 - the biggest defeat inflicted on a British Prime Minister in history.

Full text of the FM\'s speech:
One of the things we should be proud of, at Hogmanay, is the number of people from around the world who come to Scotland to see in the New Year.
They come in part because of Scotland’s reputation for offering a warm welcome for all. That’s a reputation we should cherish. And it’s one which will endure, regardless of the changes we may see in 2019.
In the year ahead, the Scottish Government will continue to do everything we can to protect Scotland’s place at the heart of Europe.
However, whatever the outcome of Brexit, Scotland will always offer a warm welcome to the world.
In fact, our reputation for being an open, warm-hearted, hospitable country has never been more important.
I want to make that especially clear to the hundreds of thousands of nationals from other European Union countries, who have done us the honour of choosing Scotland as their home.
I know that this is a deeply uncertain time for you.
But I also want you to know that your contribution to our national life – to our economy, communities and society – is hugely valued. You will always be welcome here.
Of course, 2019 will not simply be about Brexit. We will also keep on with the day to day business of government.
We will redouble our efforts to support and invest in our key public services - such as the NHS and our education system.
We will continue our expansion of childcare, and press ahead with our new Scottish system of social security - making life fairer and helping those most in need.
And we will take action to support business and the economy, whi...

Leader of the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon has called Labour a \'barrier\' on Brexit amid the discussions over a possible no confidence motion.
Labour shadow cabinet members believe the position of using a no confidence motion straight away would be a \'pointless vote\'.
With no support for the motion and a general election needing the Conservatives support, it was labelled a \'catch 22\' by the SNP leader.
She told Sky News: \"It seems to me right now that is as much a barrier to making progress on Brexit as the Tories (Conservative Party) are.
\"So we think there should be a confidence motion and will continue to talk to other opposition parties.\"
The First Minister also referred to the Brexit deal progress as a \'whole sorry mess\' and confirmed she would set out her views on independence consequences in 2019.
